Arsenal take on their fierce rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the north London derby on Saturday in what is sure to be one of the biggest Premier League matches of the weekend.

Both clubs possess pretty strong squads following a summer of both sides splashing the cash to bring in more players – which will undoubtedly make the clash at the Emirates Stadium even more juicy than it already is set to be.

But, which 11 players would make it in Metro Sport’s combined XI? Well, look no further than our Arsenal-meets-Spurs team below. (Note: this list is based on all players being fully fit.)

Hugo Lloris (Spurs)

This was a tough position to choose, but the France international’s ability to read the game means he is our number one goalkeeper.

Kyle Walker (Spurs)

He may have missed the last six months through injury, but if he was fully fit, we’d have the 24-year-old England international starting at right-back.

Per Mertesacker (Arsenal)

The Germany international is our choice for the first central defender position, with Mertesacker’s imposing figure, consistent performances and ability to organise the defence giving him the edge over his rivals.

Laurent Koscielny (Arsenal)

Mertesacker’s central defensive partner at Arsenal, Koscielny, is our man to stand on guard at the heart of the defence – with the Frenchman’s pace and last-ditch heroics the reasons for his inclusion.
